Around the world today, we have more than 100 million children between 6 and 11 who will never attend school, in what UNICEF has accurately labeled a "silent catastrophe." Many of these children are toiling right now in dingy sweatshops and enduring backbreaking labor.
It is said that the future is written on the faces of children. If so, that future is full of both hope and despair. To see the bright eyes of a young...

In the United States, child labor and sweatshops are illegal, and society frowns upon any business that exploits children in the production of goods. Though most would say that they would not support a company that uses child labor to produce its goods, almost everyone has, in fact, knowingly or unknowingly, supported these businesses in one way or another. Children are involved in the production of many of the everyday goods we import from overseas, including the manufacturing of clothes,...

In this paper we view child labor as a negative externality exerted by some poor countries on richer nations. We inquire into the feasibility of international transfers as a way of addressing this externality. We build a two-country growth model with human capital and child labor. We then calibrate our model to the United States and a poor country, solve it numerically and provide a quantitative description of the minimum transfers necessary to induce the poor to give up...

﻿Child labor reached new heights during the Industrial Revolution. Due to this, it lead to an increase in the “percentage of children ten to fifteen years of age who were gainfully employed. Although the official figure of 1.75 million significantly understates the true number, it indicates that at least 18 percent of these children were employed in 1900. In southern cotton mills, 25 percent of the employees were below the age of fifteen, with half of these children below age twelve” (History)....

When the industrial revolution first came to Britain and the U.S., there was a high demand for labor. Families quickly migrated from the rural farm areas to the newly industrialized cities to find work. Once they got there, things did not look as bright as they did. To survive in even the lowest level of poverty, families had to have every able member of the family go to work. This led to the high rise in child labor in factories. Children were not treated well, overworked, and underpaid for a...
